Analyst Recommendation  

Today's stock selection:
Transocean (RIG)
Inspired by:
http://www.zacks.com/newsroom/commentary/index_pdf.php?id=788...

We are maintaining our Buy rating on Transocean
shares ahead of the company s first-quarter results.
With oil prices sitting at record highs, Transocean
should continue to benefit from increased
exploration and production (E&P) spending by oil
companies, improved rig utilization rates, and higher
dayrates. We continue to believe that the company s
recently completed merger with GlobalSantaFe
transforms it into an offshore drilling powerhouse.
With a backlog of nearly $32 billion, the new
Transocean offers an unparallel level of earnings
and cash flow visibility.


RIG:  This call was made on 06/19/08 @ $152.66
Rating:   Positive   $152.66 (06/19/08)
Gain/Loss:   -44.04% in 523 days
Target:   $180.00 (+17.91%) in > one year
Allocation:   1.4% of portfolio
